AduIterated Condiments.

The chemists of the department OF
agriculture have been investigating
the extent and manner of food adul-
teration practiced in this country.
That portion OF the report relating TO
spices and condiments, prepared by
Clifford Richardson, is completed. 1t
says:
No other kinds of human food are
adulterated to such an extent. Of
twenty samples of ground cloves ex-
amined, only two were pure. The 9th
ers had suffered the extraction oftheir
essential oils, and had been polluted
by the addition of Glove stems, all
spice and husks of various kinds. OF
eight samples OF cayenne pepper, only
one was pure. OF ten samples OF mus
tards, none were pure. Though sew
eral of the samples of mustard had
only suffered the loss OF their fixed oil,
the others contained quantl-
ties OF wheat -four, the spu-
rious matter being in some cases
two-thirds of the compound. This
made it necessary to add tumerc acid
(harmless) to restore the mustard col
or. Ten samples of allspice were ex-
amined, eight of which were pure.
Four samples of cassia were all pure
Often samples OF ginger, four were pure
Only one out of thirteen samples of
black pepper was found unadulterated.
A specimen sent from Baltimore to a
man who had an army contract was
almost entirely spurious. Cayenne
pepper, black pepper husks and mus
tard hull5 were used TO give flavor ana
pungency. while body was supplied
by ground beans and rice and by
charcoal. Two samples Of white pep
per out of five were pure. The public
has the power in its own hands to ef.
feet or reform in the matter OF spice
adulteration. The quality of the ar
ticle is usually fixed by the retailer
who names the price he is willing to
pay. The grinder estimates the
amount OF pure spice he can afford to
put in. and fills out the order witt

Another Benefit Game.

is now in fair way to become reality

the fire department sent challenge to
the members of the police force to play
a match game for the benefit of Mary
Sylvester, the young girl who
threw herself from third story
window in order to save her

The firemen suggest that Mayor Ames
act as umpire. In case the police ac-
cept the challenge, and they probably
will, the game will be played at an
early date. In forming the nine from
the police, the following suggests itself

FASTER TRAINS
To Milwaukee and Chicago Via

Rest For the Weary.

After the tiresome tramp, after the
weary search for something to see, after
the Exposition building has been thor
oughly and carefully looked through,
after the street illumination has been
looked at and talked about, the average
visitor will naturally turn to some spot
where he can rest from everything tire
some, get away from the busy scenes
around him, get behind something
artistic, and-drink glass of beer
Now there isn't a better, nicer or more
attractive place in Minneapolis for this
purpose than at the Columbia. If you
have tired out your boarding house fan,
most excellent change will be found
at the Columbia restaurant or lunch
counter, the finest and most elaborate
i'll the Northwest. Visitors who are for
tunate enough to secure rooms will find
place in the city for meals at any hour
Everything furnished by the Columbia
is of superior grade and is
consequently patronized by the
very best people who travel.
Everything furnished by the best Chica-
go or New York caterer will be found
at the Columbia. One of the most at
tractive features is the summer garden,
arranged and fitted in the most elabo-
rate and metropolitan style. An ele-
CANT orchestra of ladies and gentlemen,
secured at a fabulous price from the
East, furnishes the finest music in the
West. No one has ever heard their
equal with the same number of instru-
ments. The splendid treatment re-
ceived by strangers and visi-
tors generally at the Column
bia has rapidly increased
its popularity until now it counts its
patrons from all parts of the country.
Those who go there once are sure to go
again and take their friends with them.
To every visitor during the Exposition
and State fair the proprietors extend
harty invitation to enjoy their hospi-
tality.
